In this study, the transesterification of Soya bean oil with methanol for biodiesel production was studied by using CaO–MgO as a heterogeneous base catalyst prepared by incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) and co-precipitation (CP) methods. The biodiesel produced was also characterized, the result was compared using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
